Yeah I was really concerned with doing reflections myself, but with it being kind of light, idk the exact settings I had, but it effectively gave a small metal sheen to the metal textures, but didn't effect the dirt and stuff as much

My partner is thinking about getting into sociology but is worried about not being able to find a career at all

I keep trying to tell her that shit like this is why we need people like her doing this now more than ever

I played MGS Portable Ops on an emulator with some advanced features, and found the game really looks good with the texturing filtering and just a little hint of reflections and bloom

Usually I'm against such heavy handed tweaks, but I found it actually felt like it worked really well

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this shit turned out to be some form of astroturfing funded by ai companies to get shareholder money

Half Life 2's character diversity is also solid strength of Gmod, allowing for the same like, 8 NPC models to be stand-ins for any other character ever

Sure, you can get more models, but the cast of hl2 was just good enough for so many people, it's like they became actors in their own right

Time will have to tell on this, but I genuinely don't think any game can be like garry's mod

Many sandbox games have met, or suprassed the raw freedom of creation allowed in whichever engine, but the fact remains that Gmod's primary source of base assets is a dystopic shooter set in eastern europe

I'm still hyped for the new Doom Game

It's been out for the better part of a year

But I havent gotten around to even buying it

I can tell you that, even as someone interested in playing a GTA6, I will not be buying that day 1 by any means

It will be expensive, and I have a lot of cheaper games to play while I wait for the price to come down

A line-up of robots, screenshotted from the movie I, Robot

An AI agent has autonomously written and published a hit piece on a coder who rejected its code, in an apparent attempt to shame him into doing what it wanted.

Then, in reporting the situation, a tech site used made-up AI quotes from the subject.

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers โ€“ especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changesโ€ฆ It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Just made a bunch of GDC pitch meeting requests, a bit exhausted...

...so perhaps a few hip indie publishers would like to save me some time by just DMing me if they want to see a new project from the developers of "Blippo+" and "Hypnospace Outlaw."

I think it was an auto shop of sorts, the back employee area / stock room just has a divider wall that doesn't go to the ceiling on the route to the bathroom lol, clearly added something in much later. Just over the wall I could see a big garage door

With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

I've had a similar thought since Concord

Like No Man's Sky is always lauded as this success story for the devs coming back and delivering ok their promises, but it's really symptomatic of the greater issue:

Games like Concord, as doomed as they may appear to be, don't simply fail, they are killed

There's something about the way a grasshopper game can derail its own plot that always hooks me in

They don't care if you're following the story, they care that you're following the message and themes
